So you may have wondered why I chose buttons.....I just may have a bit of a button fettish. I went through all my containers (yes, I said containers) of buttons a few evenings ago and sorted them all. I'd picked up 4 old candy jars (you'll only see 3 in the pic cause one broke on the way home from the second hand store ), and so I sorted my buttons all into large, medium and small. I then took three small canning jars and sorted my vintage metal buttons, white/cream buttons and then other assorted vintage buttons. Then I took one of my original old tins and that's where I put all my shaped and unique buttons. So ya, I may have one or two buttons laying around.....

LOL.....go gallery gazing and think outside the box. CASE one of the cards that's already been done.....you have a whole week!! I didn't get my project for last weeks challenge posted till the final hour.....lol. Ya can't let me stump you!!!

Hi Everyone!!! Thanks so much for supporting me on this Cutting Garden gig! I can't tell you how much I appreciate my friends here, rallying behind me with this. I love you all very very much *hugs* You are the most awesome and special friends.

Okay.... I'll shut up now before Lynn dunks me into a vat of glitter glue

Look at you being all creative!! Great idea.....I have a few of those embossed on cardstock from a swap I was in.....never thought of that idea. You rocked it to my friend.....I guess pushing buttons around on a counter helped.....lol

Lisa.....of course we're going to support you!! That's what we do here.....we support everyone and are very happy with their successes. How did you class go?

No, the buttons I was pushing are still laying out there in a shape if I can figure out how to use it. I tried the galleries, but nothing inspired me so I had to think on my own. That doesn't usually end well! LOL

No, Lauren, I couldn't come up with an H and this challenge so I will still have to do something for H later!

Lisa, I think I "followed" the blog the other day when I asked my stupid question. Will have to check.

Went to JoAnns and Michaels today. My sister took me Was NOT impressed with what they had for Spellbinders or punches. At Michaels, if it was on clearance, it was GONE!!
And stamps.......neither place hardly had any. I was looking for something for a woman's 80th birthday card. Nothing!! Oh don't get me wrong, I bought, just couldn't find what I really wanted.

But at JoAnns I had a 40% off coupon off a regular priced item and I did buy 2 punches so I got 40% off them because they were on sale then the coupon took another 40% off one. Bonus!!!!

I'm off to finish making supper. Oldest son and family are coming for supper!! I get to have some snuggle time with two grandkids.....love it!! Later ladies......Lynn.....BEHAVE!! Wait a minute.....did I just say that out loud......go and have fun!! No rules...go and corrupt!!

Good idea Kathy, I have a technique book... things I have tried and my thoughts, results etc

... also a want to try book that has the supplies, the technique and where I can find the info on it....

That's a good idea. But I may just use my smash book for everything. I bought this leather type journal at Michaels for $4.99. It has a rubberband built into the end and you wrap it around to hold it closed. I am using it as a smash book. So far I've smashed a tag I tried to do using the acrylic distress technique the other day. Then I smashed a movie ticket, my fortune from the cookie the other day that said "A Little courtesy will go a long way"...that was the day the guy put money in my parking meter. Today I added an image I colored using the prisma's and OMS.

Guys that is a good idea with the books/journals. Wish I was that organized that when I do something I had the time to put a sample in a book and write down directions for it. That would be an awesome book to make. Hmmmmm wonder if I could hire a "pool boy" to do something like that.
